Description

Added by Alyssa + Hannah ODYSEA

Lush forest, gushing rivers and scenic views. This flat hike following the Kaslo river is great for all ages and abilities.

The trail begins at the end of Railway avenue near downtown. The trail passes through the red bridge above the river, where you may just see salmon in the stream if you're lucky!

The trail has something for everyone. From the gushing icy river with a snow-capped mountain range in the distance, to green lush rain forests full of hundreds of different mushrooms.

It is a relatively flat walk and the path is well maintained all year round, a nice easy hike for all ages and abilities, although remarkably beautiful as it follows the river and passes through the thick forest.

The Lyle Lakes hike starts with the access - as most do in the Kootenays it requires finding the trailhead! Turn off HWY 31A onto Rossiter Road, about 24km's from Kaslo and 23Km from New Denver. Here, follow the main route on the forestry roads for 7km to the trailhead, noting to bear left at 5.9km up the road. Park at the switchback at 7km - from here your trail starts.Follow the trail up to a...

Ski Whitewater Resort

Whitewater is a short 20 minute drive from downtown Nelson. There are only 3 lifts here, but a surprising amount of terrain — most of which will satisfy even the strongest of skiers. Our favorite runs were the Trash Glades, accessed via a short traverse off the backside of the Motherlode Chair (and the boot-pack above the traverse that’ll get you a few more creamy turns). This isn’t a resort t...
